i like them all but you should specify "not a Lost Soul" on the Crimson one or else some bad combos could take place there.

It is bland, but when you think about Lazarus' SA it makes much more sense./How is that OP? All you have to do is attack or not have Heroes. It serves so many purposes toward making the game more fun and I don't see how it's too powerful.

Again, how is that OP? It doesn't stop Golgotha if you have an EE in your hand, it only Ignores Males and only if your opponent has at least 7 EC's in his territory, and it's in a weak theme.

I very much like Tasteless and the LS, but I don't really get the purpose of Salt of the Earth or King Saul. Which un-fun decks do those combat?

Do you have problems with Job? Are you annoyed that he continually has more of His Faith? Well, if you call Rob right now, and bribe him, you may just be able to get Salt of the Earth printed, and Job will trouble you no more (since he'll be gold brigade)! But wait, it gets better, if you call right now, Tasteless will be on the other side of the card. That's right, a good and evil card! So what are you waiting for? Bribe Rob today!

Disregard me. I was thinking that Yellow was called Gold for some reason....

EDIT: Now I'm really confused. It could be because it is past midnight and I'm tired, but is the good gold-like color Gold or Yellow? The REG lists cards as yellow, but it mentions a good gold brigade.

gold=good gold
yellow = evil gold

Why are the likes of Moses, The Generous Widow, and etc listed as yellow then :c.

My original question was whether Salt of the Earth would convert to good gold or evil gold, or a choice?

Salt of the Earth is a GE (with Tasteless on the other side) that converts to Gold Good. I actually don't mind Job at all in terms of power level, or any other turtle win strategy, but I've played way too many super-super long, unfun games where there's zero interaction for upwards thirty minutes because my opponent is just turtling. I usually win these games, too, so I'm not just griping about not being able to deal with turtles. I do have a problem with people using decks on RTS that would time out every game in real tournaments, but that's for another day.
